Open
course ware is a new movement among
the academic communities where schools from around the world are providing free
lectures, lessons and other learning materials at absolutely no cost.

be used to achieve specific learning goals or recognised formal qualifications.

education for more than a decade, delivering courses and programs over the
Internet since 2001. Part of that legacy of leadership includes offering a
selection of online courses for free to anyone who wants to expand their world
through higher education.

The UW currently provides free online courses through a variety of services,
including popular online learning platforms such as the Canvas Network,
Coursera and edX. Many of these courses are based on popular classes offered by
UW degree and certificate programs, both online and in person.
